This includes:

• Leading RAMS strategy across missions, ensuring our systems are designed for reliability from day one
• Owning reliability engineering across programmes, from concept through to in-orbit operations
• Defining how we approach radiation, fault tolerance, and system resilience at an architectural level
• Driving FMEA and FDIR approaches across the organisation, ensuring consistency and quality
• Acting as a key voice in design reviews, influencing decisions that balance performance, risk, and cost
• Working directly with customers, partners, and suppliers on mission-critical topics
• Identifying risks early and shaping solutions at system and programme level
• Continuously improving how we do RAMS; tools, processes, and standards
• Supporting and mentoring other engineers, helping build capability across the team

What You’ll Bring

• Deep technical understanding of reliability, systems, or electronics engineering
• The ability to lead complex work and influence decisions across teams
• Strong systems thinking, you see how everything connects and where risks sit
• Confidence operating in ambiguity and making sound engineering judgements
• The ability to communicate clearly and influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Strong analytical capability, backed by a structured and pragmatic approach
• Familiarity with RAMS tools, methods, and standards, or equivalent experience in high-reliability environments
